Via the AP, we have the details of the minor league contract Andy Pettitte signed with the Yankees in Spring Training. His base salary is $2M but the pro-rated portion is just a hair over $1.57M. He’ll receive $500k bonuses for making one start and spending five days on the active roster and $250k bonuses for his second start, his third start, and for spending ten days on the roster. The contract value is capped is $2.5M though, and that’s what Andy will receive come Thursday. Got it? Good.
While on the subject, make sure you check out my FanGraphs post on Pettitte’s return. He had trouble getting his cut-fastball in the righties and I’m hopefully that’s just a product of rust. Busting righties with the cutter has been a Pettitte trademark for more than a decade.
